If you’re looking for a thoughtful, personalized gift for Mom’s Day, there’s a great company called Snaptotes that customizes all different kinds of handbags – from purses to cosmetics cases to beach bags – with favorite photos. This is obviously a great idea for moms – but I also love this idea for pet-lovers – or maybe you have a pet-loving mom! Personalized cosmetics cases are a cute idea for bridesmaids too.

Hi Tracey –
I have the beach bag and it hasn’t faded for me, but it probably depends on how much time it actually spends in the sun. I wish I was at the beach everyday, but unfortunately that isn’t the case! The quality is great overall, though.

Jen R. –
Since you’re an artist, it might be cool to customize a bag with one of your own designs? Just a thought :)
